Dining Review: 7-11

More Bang for Your Dining Buck:
The 7-11 Food Review

Looking for a smorgasbord? A garden of gastronomical
delights? A place where culinary variety is truly the
spice du jour and you can get your every hunger, of
the food and drink variety, sated? No, you say? Well then move on to the next window in your browser, you anorexic thing, you.

For those
of us who enjoy the finer things in life, especially
when it comes to food in its many varieties, read on.

Now, some of you might be thinking, as I tease you
with visions of a cornucopia of foodstuffs that I’m
talking about some swank establishment like Old
Country Buffet. Perish the thought, children!

If you’re really hungry, on a budget, and want a bevy
of choices laid tantalizingly before you, look no
further than the friendly, fluorescent-lit environs of
your nearest 7-11. True, the atmosphere is often one
of hustle and bustle, and there’s nary a table to be
found in the joint. But you can make your selection,
have it rung up, and devour it right there on the
curb in the parking lot in a matter of minutes!

In
this instant, microwaved millennium, what could be
more appealing?

Need breakfast? 7-11 is there for you. Head to the
deli area, grab an artfully (and hygienically!)
wrapped egg salad sandwich, then head over to the
cooler and pick up a quart of Schlitz and you’re on
your way! Hangover begone! If something more
saccharine is to your taste, check out the glass case
of donuts, éclairs and other yummy sweet treats. One,
two or more of these confections is sure to set your
energy level to hummin’!

If noon rolls around and you haven’t yet eaten,
there’s no better place to stuff your gullet. The
aforementioned deli section is always stocked with an
assortment of sandwiches and, for the health
conscious, salads. Pair that up with a bag of red hot
pork skins, or a sack of Cheetos and a Slurpy and
you’ve got yourself a balanced meal, Mister!

And,
after you’ve eaten, choose from any one of every
existing cigarette brand to top off your meal.

And who says you need a fancy sit-down establishment
for dinner? Not my pocketbook, that’s for sure! 7-11
offers freshly heated hot dogs, bagel dogs and
more…they’re grillin’ all day long, so you don’t have
to wait for the six o’clock dinner bell to chime. A
delicious assortment of Twix, Snickers, and Reese Cups
makes for a sublime dessert.

The fun doesn’t stop at the three squares you can get
at the store whose façade you’ll find in the
dictionary next to “convenient.” If you don’t want to
eat in the parking lot or near a handy Dumpster, where
you can responsibly dispose of your refuse, you can
take home a plethora of healthy eats like Dinty Moore
beef stew, Van Camps Pork and Beans and everybody’s
favorite—Spaghetti-o’s.
7-11. It adds up to perfection.

Real Men. True Love.

I draw inspiration from the lives of gay men to craft stories that quicken the heartbeat, engage emotions, and keep the pages turning. Although I dabble in horror, dark suspense, and comedy, my attention always returns to the power of love. I'm addicted to books--I've written and had published more than 35 novels and counting, some of which have won awards and made it to the top of the Amazon bestseller charts. I'm forever at work on yet another book. Lambda Literary called me: "A writer that doesn't disappoint…" I live in Palm Springs, CA with my beloved husband who tries, mostly successfully, to keep me out of trouble. When I'm not writing, I'm cooking, reading, running, or traveling.
